Hum by Helen Phillips
In a city grappling with climate change and advanced technology, May faces the loss of her job to artificial intelligence. To help her family financially, she undergoes a procedure that makes her invisible to surveillance. Seeking a break from their tech-driven lives, May takes her family to a lush Botanical Garden, hoping for peace and connection. However, the experience is more challenging than expected, and when her children are endangered, May must rely on an unpredictable ally to protect her family. "Hum" delves into themes of family, identity, and the impact of technology in a rapidly changing world.
